A quilt is a quilt is a quilt. A quilt by any other name is just as warm/lovely/(other adjective of your choosing). Will quilt for food. To quilt or not to quilt, THAT is the question. Have needle, will quilt. A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and thou beside me, quilting in the wilderness...

Where Did August Go?

OK - so I have been a bit distracted with the renovation of our home. But the bulk of that project is done now, with just a few things for the builders to finish and fix up. I did pretty much stop quilting there for a bit, but I'm back to it again.

Matilda - my Handi Quilter longarm, which I damaged in July by accidentally running over a lucite ruler - is fixed now. The repair required the replacement of the casing that holds the needle in place - and I'm happy to report the bill for that wasn't terrible. But I do want to say that I'm a bit surprised that the machine isn't a bit tougher. I understand that the needle would break (and it sure did - into 3 pieces!), but that it would actually damage the machine seems a bit "much". But there you go. You can bet I'm a LOT more careful now.

Matilda has competition for my attention now, as I made the momentous decision last April to acquire another longarm... ...stay tuned for details!
